How we handle tile repair in Plains

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, on marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Plains

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Plains. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

If you’re in Plains and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
