Tile repair for Preston-under-Scar homes

Tile repair in Preston-under-Scar without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can normally put it right.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Preston-under-Scar

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Preston-under-Scar

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

Common questions in Preston-under-Scar

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

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.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Preston-under-Scar. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
