Trusted tile repair in Penpont

Tile repair in Penpont without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Penpont

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Signs you need tile repair in Penpont

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK

Take a look at our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
