DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Tile repair at your home in Sprat's Down

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Sprat's Down

How much does tile repair cost in Sprat's Down?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sprat's Down as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
