Tile repair in Portwrinkle

Tile repair in Portwrinkle, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, in marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Portwrinkle?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about tile repair in Portwrinkle

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Portwrinkle included. There is no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

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

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
