Trusted tile repair in Stow

Tile repair at your home in Stow

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stow as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Stow questions

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it isn’t loose.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Stow?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Stow and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Stow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We will not take on work that will not 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Stow

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stow, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
