Tile repair for Starr Gate homes

Tile repair in Starr Gate, done in place

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’ll tell you. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Starr Gate and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we are called out for in Starr Gate

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Starr Gate. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Starr Gate

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
