Repairing versus replacing in Vickerstown
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Tile repair in Vickerstown without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Vickerstown
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

What we are called out for in Vickerstown
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools

- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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 often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
