Tile repair in Smith's End

About our tile repair in Smith's End

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smith's End

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smith's End as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Smith's End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book

Smith's End: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Are there extra charges for Smith's End?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Smith's End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
