About our tile repair in Shotwick

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shotwick as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about tile repair in Shotwick

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you come to Shotwick?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shotwick for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shotwick

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Shotwick

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
