Why repair rather than replace?

How we handle tile repair in Norton
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can generally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Norton
Signs you need tile repair in Norton
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
Landlords, agents and businesses in Norton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Norton: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
