Tile repair in Roade

How we handle tile repair in Roade

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

Roade questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Roade?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

DIY kit or professional 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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roade

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Honest limits

Before booking, 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 will give you a straight answer.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
