Questions from Rudley Green

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Rudley Green.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How we handle tile repair in Rudley Green

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Rudley Green, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
