  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Our hiring checklist

Tile repair in The Grange, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, 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.

The Grange: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for The Grange?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including The Grange. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in The Grange, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in The Grange, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
