Do you work for landlords and businesses?

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Tile repair at your home in Sneaton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sneaton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sneaton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

What affects the price in Sneaton

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Sneaton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
