How we handle tile repair in Southwell

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Southwell?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southwell

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

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

What affects the price in Southwell

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Questions from Southwell

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Do you cover Southwell?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Southwell. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
