Tile repair at your home in Spital Tongues

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Spital Tongues

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Common questions in Spital Tongues

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you accredited?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Read our prices page.

Honest limits

We will not take on work 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in Spital Tongues

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spital Tongues use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
