Tile repair in Summertown

How we handle tile repair in Summertown

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can typically put it right, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

How to prepare

What affects the price in Summertown

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Summertown and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Summertown questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Summertown.

Do you work in Summertown?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Summertown. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Summertown

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
