Tile repair for Whiddon homes

About our tile repair in Whiddon

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Whiddon

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover Whiddon?

We do. Technicians travel to Whiddon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whiddon

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole tiled area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Whiddon

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Whiddon

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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