Tile repair near Ramshaw

How we handle tile repair in Ramshaw

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ramshaw, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
