Tile repair for Towcester homes

How we handle tile repair in Towcester

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Towcester: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Towcester

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Towcester as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Towcester

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll say what we think.
