Tile repair for Tickencote homes

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Tile repair at your home in Tickencote

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, in marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Tickencote

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you cover Tickencote?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Tickencote from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

Signs you need tile repair in Tickencote

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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tickencote. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
