Tile repair for West Hill homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

About our tile repair in West Hill

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’ll say so. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Hill as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in West Hill

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it is not loose.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover West Hill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to West Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
