Tile repair in Somerwood

Tile repair in Somerwood without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairing versus replacing in Somerwood

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Somerwood

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, if it is not loose.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Everywhere in the UK, Somerwood included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Somerwood. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What affects the price in Somerwood

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Somerwood

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
