Trusted tile repair in Welby

Tile repair in Welby without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Welby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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 normally the cheaper route.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged 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. What it costs 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 there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Read our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LE14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Welby

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
