Tile repair in Acklam

Tile repair in Acklam, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Acklam. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Acklam

Do you work in Acklam?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Acklam. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Acklam?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TS5 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we are called out for in Acklam

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Common reasons people in Acklam contact us are:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.
