What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How much does tile repair cost in Pennywell?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Tile repair in Pennywell, done in place

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 say so. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pennywell

If you manage property in Pennywell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Pennywell

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Pennywell. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SR4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
