Trusted tile repair in Shortfield Common

Tile repair in Shortfield Common without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, in porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Shortfield Common

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GU10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Shortfield Common

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

Repairing versus replacing in Shortfield Common

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it

Take a look at our prices page.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Your questions about tile repair in Shortfield Common

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

Do you work in Shortfield Common?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shortfield Common and the rest of Surrey. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
