How we handle tile repair in Piccotts End

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Piccotts End

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Piccotts End, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Your questions about tile repair in Piccotts End

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

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How much does tile repair cost in Piccotts End?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
