When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

About our tile repair in Sandford

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 tell you. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Sandford

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Landlord and trade work in Sandford

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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 generally the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Sandford

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job without visiting.

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
