Need tile repair in Southcoates?

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Tile repair in Southcoates without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right.

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

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Southcoates: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Is there any odour?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repairing versus replacing in Southcoates

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour-matched on site

See our pricing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
