Tile repair near Thurmaston

Tile repair in Thurmaston without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s 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 discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles 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 risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Take a look at our pricing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Your questions about tile repair in Thurmaston

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you cover Thurmaston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thurmaston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Thurmaston?

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

Prices and what affects them

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

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

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurmaston

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
