How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Advice

About our tile repair in Whitley

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 will tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Whitley questions

Do you cover the whole of Reading?

Across the UK, and that includes Whitley. Prices do not change with location.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it is not loose.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Whitley.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
