Need tile repair in Skinflats?

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Skinflats. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

Tile repair in Skinflats, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skinflats as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Skinflats, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Skinflats, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price
