Trusted tile repair in Ottinge

Tile repair in Ottinge without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, 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.

Your questions about tile repair in Ottinge

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ottinge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ottinge

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Ottinge

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
