Tile repair in Storrs, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Storrs

Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Storrs. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Storrs, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Storrs

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How much does tile repair cost in Storrs?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
