How we handle tile repair in Yaxley

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yaxley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Yaxley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Yaxley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Yaxley

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will it make a mess?

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

How much does tile repair cost in Yaxley?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Yaxley

Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
