Tile repair in Brancepeth

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Tile repair in Brancepeth without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brancepeth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Brancepeth: your questions answered

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Do you cover the whole of County Durham?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
