Tile repair at your home in Shirley Oaks

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right, on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

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

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What tile repair costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in Shirley Oaks

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Your questions about tile repair in Shirley Oaks

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, if it is not loose.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Shirley Oaks, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
