Trusted tile repair in Sharples

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we handle tile repair in Sharples

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

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

For landlords and businesses

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Sharples

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

Do you cover Sharples?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sharples. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How much does tile repair cost in Sharples?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Sharples is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Are you accredited?

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

What affects the price in Sharples

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sharples. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in Sharples?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our prices page.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
