Tile repair in Old Arley

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Tile repair at your home in Old Arley

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Old Arley, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
