Trusted tile repair in Threewaters

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How we handle tile repair in Threewaters

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Your questions about tile repair in Threewaters

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Threewaters?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

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. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it is not loose.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL30 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
