Tile repair in Borrowby

How we handle tile repair in Borrowby

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Borrowby

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How much does tile repair cost in Borrowby?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your YO7 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Borrowby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Borrowby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
