Tile repair in Stanfree without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Stanfree

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanfree as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Stanfree

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stanfree. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
