Tile repair near Norcot

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble

Tile repair in Norcot without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, porcelain 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. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
