Tile repair at your home in Wearde

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Wearde, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Wearde

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wearde. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wearde use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Wearde: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
