Questions from Swattenden

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Tile repair at your home in Swattenden

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

If you manage property in Swattenden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swattenden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Swattenden. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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