Tile repair for Strabane homes

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Tile repair in Strabane, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Strabane

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Strabane

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Strabane: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does tile repair cost in Strabane?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BT82 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you come to Strabane?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Strabane from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
