Tile repair for The Rigg homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Tile repair in The Rigg without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in The Rigg

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Fixed prices from your photos

Take a look at our pricing.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to The Rigg. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

The Rigg questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
