Trusted tile repair in Swavesey

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swavesey

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swavesey use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Tile repair in Swavesey, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Swavesey and across Cambridgeshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

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. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Swavesey?

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Swavesey

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Swavesey?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What affects the price in Swavesey

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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