Repairing versus replacing in Whaddon

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Whaddon

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we handle tile repair in Whaddon

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, across floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Whaddon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
