What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Tile repair in Ovingham, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Ovingham

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you cover Ovingham?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ovingham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Ovingham. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
