Tile repair for Terras homes

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Most customers in Terras get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Tile repair in Terras without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Terras

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Terras, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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