Tile repair in Thrupp

About our tile repair in Thrupp

The tile stays where it is, 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. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

Your questions about tile repair in Thrupp

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Thrupp and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thrupp. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Thrupp

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thrupp use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
