Tile repair in Brotherton

Landlord and trade work in Brotherton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Tile repair in Brotherton, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Brotherton

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice

Brotherton: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?

We cover the whole UK, including Brotherton and the rest of Wakefield. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Brotherton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
