About our tile repair in Allanton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What affects the price in Allanton

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Allanton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Allanton: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Are there extra charges for Allanton?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 frequently lifts.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
