Tile repair for South Merstham homes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Tile repair in South Merstham, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can generally put it right, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Merstham

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Merstham. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common questions in South Merstham

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your RH1 postcode.
