Tile repair for Tingwall homes

Tile repair in Tingwall without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tingwall use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we are called out for in Tingwall

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Do you hold any accreditations?

How do I book?
