DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

About our tile repair in Preston

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Preston

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Preston

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start 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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Preston

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about tile repair in Preston

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your GL7 postcode.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
