Tile repair for Stede Quarter homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

How we handle tile repair in Stede Quarter

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Your questions about tile repair in Stede Quarter

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Stede Quarter?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

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

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
