Our hiring checklist

Tile repair at your home in Rushden

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

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 generally 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. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Rushden. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common questions in Rushden

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Rushden is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Repairing versus replacing in Rushden

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
