How we handle tile repair in Williamscot

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Williamscot

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Williamscot questions

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
