About our tile repair in Shelfanger

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

What we work on

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

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

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Shelfanger

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Shelfanger questions

What does tile repair cost?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What areas do you cover?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Repairing versus replacing in Shelfanger

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
