How we handle tile repair in Sandwick

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Sandwick

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
