Tile repair in Brafferton

Tile repair in Brafferton without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can help, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

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

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
