Tile repair in West End

Tile repair in West End, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you do not 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 people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around West End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in West End

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Questions from West End

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, West End included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
