Saltford: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Saltford and the rest of Bath and North East Somerset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Tile repair at your home in Saltford

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Saltford

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Saltford

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saltford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What tile repair costs

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need tile repair in Saltford

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Saltford

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

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