Tile repair for Portswood homes

Tile repair in Portswood without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Portswood questions

Do you come to Portswood?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Portswood. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How soon can you come?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Portswood?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portswood

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Portswood, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need tile repair in Portswood

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 contact us when they notice something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repair or replace in Portswood?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 will get a fixed figure.
