Tile repair at your home in Sonning

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Sonning questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

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

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What we cannot put right

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
