Tile repair in Upperton

Repairing versus replacing in Upperton

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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Upperton clients choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

Tile repair at your home in Upperton

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Upperton

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Upperton and want a price, pictures 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upperton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upperton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we’re called out for in Upperton

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Upperton

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover Upperton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Upperton and the rest of East Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
