Tile repair for Sleapshyde homes

Tile repair in Sleapshyde, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Sleapshyde

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, if it is not loose.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repair or replace in Sleapshyde?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in Sleapshyde

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
