How we handle tile repair in Pathhead

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pathhead

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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 will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Pathhead

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

Common questions in Pathhead

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in Pathhead?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
