Tile repair at your home in Tilery

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Tilery

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tilery

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

When to call us in Tilery

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
