Tile repair in White Lackington

Tile repair at your home in White Lackington

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in White Lackington?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What affects the price in White Lackington

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in White Lackington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in White Lackington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
