Our hiring checklist

Tile repair in Tankerton, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Tankerton questions

Are there extra charges for Tankerton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Tankerton?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Tankerton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
