Choosing a repair company

How we handle tile repair in Bishopthorpe

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re frequently asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Bishopthorpe

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Bishopthorpe?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your YO23 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

When can you do it?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What tile repair costs

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Bishopthorpe?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our full price list.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
