Tile repair for Ufford homes

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Tile repair in Ufford, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ufford

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

Ufford questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How soon can you come?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What tile repair costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
