What a repair can’t fix

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle tile repair in St Lawrence

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our full price list.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Our hiring checklist

St Lawrence: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
