Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Tile repair in Portway, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Portway

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Portway. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Common questions in Portway

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What do you need from me?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
