Tile repair in West Reading 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 don’t need to find a spare. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs

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

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from West Reading

Are there extra charges for West Reading?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Reading, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Our hiring checklist

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RG30 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
