Tile repair in Stoborough Heath

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Stoborough Heath get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle tile repair in Stoborough Heath

Repairing versus replacing in Stoborough Heath

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Common questions in Stoborough Heath

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What information do you need?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
