Your questions about tile repair in Uploders

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

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

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover Uploders?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Uploders. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How do I book?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How we handle tile repair in Uploders

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Uploders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Uploders

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
