Tile repair in Stand without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Stand?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

10 questions to ask before you book

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stand. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your M45 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Stand

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stand.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

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

Materials we work on in Stand

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for 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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
