Tile repair for Rickford homes

Landlord and trade work in Rickford

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Tile repair in Rickford without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Rickford

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

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

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

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

Advice

What we are called out for in Rickford

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Rickford

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
