Advice

Tile repair in Portfield, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, across floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Portfield

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Portfield clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Portfield. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Portfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Portfield

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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