Tile repair at your home in Watnall

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Watnall

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Watnall

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Choosing a repair company

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Watnall. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Watnall, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
