Tile repair near Ripple

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

About our tile repair in Ripple

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

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

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

10 questions to ask before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Ripple

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ripple. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ripple, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
