Tile repair at your home in Sourton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sourton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

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.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Sourton

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sourton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Sourton: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Sourton?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Honest limits

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
