Tile repair for Stoke homes

Tile repair in Stoke without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Stoke and across Derbyshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stoke

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Stoke, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after 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

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Your questions about tile repair in Stoke

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repair or replace in Stoke?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
