Tile repair for Newton Tracey homes

Tile repair in Newton Tracey, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, across marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton Tracey use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Newton Tracey

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Newton Tracey questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you come to Newton Tracey?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Newton Tracey and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it is not loose.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
