How we handle tile repair in Walkford

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.

Common questions in Walkford

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for Walkford?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Walkford is covered. Prices do not change with location.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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 typically the cheaper route.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Walkford. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Walkford, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walkford

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
