Tile repair near Trickett's Cross

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Tile repair at your home in Trickett's Cross

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can generally put it right, on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Trickett's Cross as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Trickett's Cross. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Trickett's Cross: your questions answered

How much does tile repair cost in Trickett's Cross?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
