About our tile repair in Upton

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Your questions about tile repair in Upton

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Upton.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Upton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
