Tile repair in Bishop Thornton

Tile repair in Bishop Thornton, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Signs you need tile repair in Bishop Thornton

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Bishop Thornton

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishop Thornton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Bishop Thornton

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Bishop Thornton customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Bishop Thornton questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
