What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

About our tile repair in Yate

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 tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Yate

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Yate

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Yate. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BS37 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Yate: your questions answered

Do you work in Yate?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Yate. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover the entire of South Gloucestershire?

All of South Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
