About our tile repair in Shabbington

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Shabbington: your questions answered

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shabbington. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
