Tile repair for St Nicholas homes

Tile repair in St Nicholas without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble

Common questions in St Nicholas

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes St Nicholas. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

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

Repair or replace in St Nicholas?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why St Nicholas customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.

When to call us in St Nicholas

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Look out for these signs:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in St Nicholas

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for St Nicholas. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

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.
