Tile repair at your home in Appleby Magna

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Appleby Magna as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise 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.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Appleby Magna: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Do you work in Appleby Magna?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Appleby Magna from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DE12 postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Which areas do you work in?

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Do you need tile repair in Appleby Magna?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Look out for these signs:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Appleby Magna. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Landlord and trade work in Appleby Magna

If you manage property in Appleby Magna, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
