Tile repair in Widworthy

Repairing versus replacing in Widworthy

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we handle tile repair in Widworthy

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is 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.

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Widworthy: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you cover Widworthy?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Widworthy from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
