What affects the price in Unthank

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

Most customers in Unthank get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Tile repair in Unthank, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlords, agents and businesses in Unthank

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

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

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
