Tile repair for Sheriff Hill homes

Tile repair at your home in Sheriff Hill

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right, on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Sheriff Hill, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sheriff Hill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Sheriff Hill

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sheriff Hill.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
