What affects the price in Shirley

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Tile repair in Shirley, done in place

The tile stays where it is, 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. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Shirley

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
