Tile repair in Piddlehinton without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Piddlehinton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Piddlehinton questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you come to Piddlehinton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Piddlehinton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Piddlehinton.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Read our pricing.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

If you are in Piddlehinton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
