What affects the price in Swingfield Minnis

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Tile repair in Swingfield Minnis, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Swingfield Minnis: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Swingfield Minnis?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Are you accredited?

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

How do I book?

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

Repair or replace in Swingfield Minnis?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swingfield Minnis as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
