Tile repair in Old Knebworth

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we handle tile repair in Old Knebworth

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Old Knebworth, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Old Knebworth: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Do you come to Old Knebworth?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Old Knebworth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When to call us in Old Knebworth

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Common reasons people in Old Knebworth contact us are:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
