Tile repair in Old Stratford

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Tile repair in Old Stratford without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What affects the price in Old Stratford

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Old Stratford. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about tile repair in Old Stratford

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Northamptonshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Stratford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.
