Tile repair in Ainthorpe without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ainthorpe. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.
