Tile repair in Unthank

How we handle tile repair in Unthank

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Unthank as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from Unthank

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Unthank. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Unthank, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Unthank

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled 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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
