How we handle tile repair in Sandwick

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic 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.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sandwick. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Sandwick questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you come to Sandwick?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Sandwick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
