Tile repair at your home in Pitcaple

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, across natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Pitcaple

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pitcaple. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Pitcaple, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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