Tile repair in Swallownest

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything

Tile repair at your home in Swallownest

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in Swallownest

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
