What affects the price in Shobrooke

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Tile repair in Shobrooke, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Do you need tile repair in Shobrooke?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

The things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Shobrooke

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

Repair or replace in Shobrooke?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Shobrooke: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How much does tile repair cost in Shobrooke?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price
