How we handle tile repair in Swanwick

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Swanwick

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
