Book tile repair in Widford

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

How we handle tile repair in Widford

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SG12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

FAQs for Widford

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
