Tile repair near Tuddenham St Martin

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

About our tile repair in Tuddenham St Martin

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Tuddenham St Martin

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Tuddenham St Martin

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Tuddenham St Martin?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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