Tile repair in Rickarton

How we handle tile repair in Rickarton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Rickarton

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Rickarton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rickarton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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 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
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Rickarton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
