Tile repair in Richmond

Repair or replace in Richmond?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Richmond clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

How we handle tile repair in Richmond

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Richmond questions

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Do you cover Richmond?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Richmond. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Richmond. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Richmond

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

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
