Tile repair near Portway

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Tile repair in Portway, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

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

What affects the price in Portway

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Portway

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Portway questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Portway?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Portway for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

If you’re in Portway and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
