Tile repair for Shiplake homes

Tile repair at your home in Shiplake

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’ll say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shiplake use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble

Common problems we fix in Shiplake

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
