How we handle tile repair in Northwood

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Northwood questions

Do you work in Northwood?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Northwood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Northwood?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we cannot put right

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Northwood, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
