10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Do I have to be there?

Do you charge for travel?

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to North Whilborough. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
