Tile repair for Portscatho homes

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Tile repair in Portscatho without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Portscatho: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What we are called out for in Portscatho

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portscatho as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
