Trusted tile repair in Upton Pyne

Tile repair in Upton Pyne without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Upton Pyne: your questions answered

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover Upton Pyne?

We do. Technicians travel to Upton Pyne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What affects the price in Upton Pyne

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Upton Pyne. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
