About our tile repair in Wimpole

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Wimpole

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Wimpole

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Landlord and trade work in Wimpole

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wimpole use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SG8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
