For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Tile repair in Rake without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Rake questions

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.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Rake?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does tile repair cost in Rake?

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

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rake. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you need tile repair in Rake?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Before booking anyone

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

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
