About our tile repair in Watford

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. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our pricing.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Watford

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in Watford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Watford. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Watford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Common questions in Watford

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you come to Watford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Watford and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Watford?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
