Tile repair in The Rookery

How we handle tile repair in The Rookery

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in The Rookery and across Staffordshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in The Rookery

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to The Rookery?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to The Rookery. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Rookery as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
