Tile repair near Upper Staploe

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

How we handle tile repair in Upper Staploe

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can typically put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Upper Staploe. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
