Tile repair near Shirwell Cross

What affects the price in Shirwell Cross

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX31 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle tile repair in Shirwell Cross

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
