Repairing versus replacing in Warninglid

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Tile repair in Warninglid without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We are frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Warninglid. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. 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 start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Get a quote

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RH17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Warninglid

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
