About our tile repair in Silecroft

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Silecroft

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Silecroft questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Silecroft

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silecroft use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled 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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
