How we handle tile repair in Windlehurst

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

What tile repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Windlehurst, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Windlehurst: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for Windlehurst?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it is not loose.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
