How we handle tile repair in Stowupland

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

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

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

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Stowupland. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
