How we handle tile repair in Wittering

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Wittering

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Wittering

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

What we’re called out for in Wittering

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged 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. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wittering. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you are in Wittering and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
