Need tile repair in Ovingdean?

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Tile repair in Ovingdean, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about tile repair in Ovingdean

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How much does tile repair cost in Ovingdean?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ovingdean. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

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

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
