Tile repair in Southville

Tile repair in Southville without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Questions from Southville

Do you work in Southville?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Southville. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Southville

If you manage property in Southville, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southville use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start 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.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
