How we handle tile repair in Shortlands

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about tile repair in Shortlands

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is my repair covered?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work in Shortlands?

We do. Technicians travel to Shortlands from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BR2 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Repair or replace in Shortlands?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our pricing.

What affects the price in Shortlands

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Shortlands, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
