How we handle tile repair in Owston

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’ll say so. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Owston as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Owston?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Owston

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Owston

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rutland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Owston

How do I get a price for tile repair in Owston?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price.
