Tile repair at your home in Pilley

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Pilley

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SO41 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
