Choosing a repair company

How we handle tile repair in Appleby Parva

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Appleby Parva and across Derbyshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Appleby Parva get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Appleby Parva

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

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 if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
