Tile repair near Wingate

Tile repair in Wingate, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Wingate: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Are you accredited?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Wingate

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Wingate. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wingate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
