Tile repair for Winterborne Zelston homes

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we handle tile repair in Winterborne Zelston

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not 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

Common problems we fix in Winterborne Zelston

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
