Tile repair for St Matthew's homes

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 in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Tile repair in St Matthew's, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in St Matthew's

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in St Matthew's

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we’re called out for in St Matthew's

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
