Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Riccarton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KA1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Riccarton

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How much does tile repair cost in Riccarton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KA1 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Riccarton.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When to call us in Riccarton

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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
