Tile repair in Shillford without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Shillford?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Shillford: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of East Renfrewshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do you come to Shillford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Shillford. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

10 questions to ask before booking

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not 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 tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
