Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Allerton Bywater questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it isn’t loose.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the entire of Wakefield?

We cover the whole UK, including Allerton Bywater and the rest of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What affects the price in Allerton Bywater

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Allerton Bywater. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
