  • Drill holes from removed fittings

How to compare quotes

Tile repair at your home in Platt

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Platt as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 before you book.

What tile repair costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Platt

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

If you manage property in Platt, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Platt

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Platt?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
