Your questions about tile repair in Acaster Selby

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Tile repair in Acaster Selby without replacing anything

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. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can help.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Acaster Selby

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When to call us in Acaster Selby

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, 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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
