Tile repair near Shillingstone

Tile repair in Shillingstone without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Shillingstone: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover Shillingstone?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shillingstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Shillingstone?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How soon can you come?

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We don’t 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?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DT11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
