Trusted tile repair in Scraptoft

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it

Tile repair in Scraptoft without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, across floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Scraptoft

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Scraptoft. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Scraptoft questions

Are there extra charges for Scraptoft?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you quote from photos?

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
