Our hiring checklist

Tile repair in Tradeston without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Tradeston customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlord and trade work in Tradeston

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Tradeston

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you come to Tradeston?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tradeston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tradeston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
