  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

What we work on

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

Tile repair in Smallfield, done in place

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 will say so. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Smallfield?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Common questions in Smallfield

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Landlord and trade work in Smallfield

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smallfield use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Smallfield

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode

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