Tile repair in Wolborough

How we handle tile repair in Wolborough

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can generally put it right, on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wolborough. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Wolborough get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Wolborough questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Wolborough included. Travel is included in the price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
