Tile repair in The Scarr

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our tile repair in The Scarr

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from The Scarr

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Do you cover The Scarr?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to The Scarr for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Scarr

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What tile repair costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
