Tile repair in Redworth without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, across floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Redworth as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Redworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Redworth

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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 will not last.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Redworth. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Redworth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Redworth questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
