Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

About our tile repair in Thurcaston

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlord and trade work in Thurcaston

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Thurcaston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Thurcaston

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work in Thurcaston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Thurcaston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it is not loose.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Leicester.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Thurcaston

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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges

Comparing quotes

  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
