What a repair cannot fix

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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Tile repair at your home in South Bowood

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles alike.

Somewhere like South Bowood, older homes may still have their original floors, and those are worth looking after. We repair rather than replace.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 typically the cheaper route.

South Bowood: your questions answered

Do you cover villages like South Bowood?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

My house in South Bowood is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Often, yes: original pieces are usually worth keeping. Send us pictures and we will tell you what’s possible.

How much does tile repair cost in South Bowood?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are there extra charges for South Bowood?

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

What areas do you cover?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. In an older home in a village like South Bowood, replacing a tiled area can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as South Bowood, access is generally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
