Tile repair near Scouthead

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

About our tile repair in Scouthead

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help, on marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When to call us in Scouthead

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Scouthead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
