Tile repair in Wimbish

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

About our tile repair in Wimbish

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Your questions about tile repair in Wimbish

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
