Trusted tile repair in Ulpha

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our tile repair in Ulpha

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Common questions in Ulpha

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Ulpha get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Ulpha

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we are called out for in Ulpha

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
