Tile repair in Redbourn

Tile repair at your home in Redbourn

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 tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Redbourn

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Redbourn. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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.

Materials we work on in Redbourn

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK

Landlord and trade work in Redbourn

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redbourn as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
