Tile repair at your home in Sutton upon Tern

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Sutton upon Tern: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Our hiring checklist

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutton upon Tern use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
