Need tile repair in Woodlands?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Tile repair in Woodlands, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Woodlands and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Woodlands questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repairing versus replacing in Woodlands

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Woodlands

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodlands as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Signs you need tile repair in Woodlands

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Woodlands

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your G3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
