Tile repair for Sighthill homes

Tile repair at your home in Sighthill

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

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 clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Sighthill

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

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

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about tile repair in Sighthill

Can you quote from photos?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

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

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Sighthill?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Sighthill

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
