Tile repair in Upottery without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

If you’re in Upottery and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about tile repair in Upottery

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are you accredited?

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

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 liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Upottery, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
