Tile repair near Throop

How we price tile repair

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Throop get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Tile repair in Throop without replacing anything

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’ll tell you. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Questions from Throop

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it isn’t loose.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
