Tile repair in Rowarth

Tile repair in Rowarth without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, across marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Rowarth

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
