Tile repair at your home in Okus

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common questions in Okus

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

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

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

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Okus. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What affects the price in Okus

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Okus

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
