Tile repair for Upper Hardres homes

Tile repair at your home in Upper Hardres

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Common questions in Upper Hardres

Do you cover Upper Hardres?

We do. We send a technician to Upper Hardres for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Upper Hardres?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT4 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Upper Hardres?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
