How we handle tile repair in Anlaby Common

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Anlaby Common

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Anlaby Common

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Anlaby Common

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
