Our hiring checklist

Tile repair in Rushmere St Andrew without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairing versus replacing in Rushmere St Andrew

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Rushmere St Andrew

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP5 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Rushmere St Andrew.

Can you quote from pictures?

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rushmere St Andrew. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
