Tile repair in Watford, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Watford

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Watford

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

What we are called out for in Watford

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
