The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.

FAQs for Tuckenhay

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Are there extra charges for Tuckenhay?

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

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tuckenhay.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tuckenhay, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Tuckenhay

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace in Tuckenhay?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
