Tile repair near St Leonard's

Tile repair in St Leonard's without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in St Leonard's and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

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

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Leonard's

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in St Leonard's

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover St Leonard's?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Leonard's for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repair or replace in St Leonard's?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for St Leonard's. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
