Need tile repair in Swan Street?

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

About our tile repair in Swan Street

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Swan Street

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swan Street as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Swan Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Common questions in Swan Street

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

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.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
