Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Tile repair at your home in Trowell

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

Trowell: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Trowell. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

We do not 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.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Trowell get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK
