Your questions about tile repair in Old Town

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Old Town. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

About our tile repair in Old Town

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Old Town get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Town use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Old Town, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Old Town. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
