Trusted tile repair in Smallridge

What happens on the day

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. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Tile repair in Smallridge, done in place

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. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

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

Your questions about tile repair in Smallridge

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How soon can you come?

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

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we’d advise against a repair

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.
