Tile repair near Swaton

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Tile repair at your home in Swaton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swaton

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Swaton: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work in Swaton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Swaton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

What we’re called out for in Swaton

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Swaton

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
