Tile repair in Brough, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, in marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

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

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Common questions in Brough

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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 you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
