Tile repair near Old Warden

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Tile repair in Old Warden without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, across floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Landlord and trade work in Old Warden

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Warden use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Old Warden. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Warden

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
