How we handle tile repair in Butterley

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, across ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Butterley as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we can’t put right

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Your questions about tile repair in Butterley

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What areas do you cover?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

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

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Signs you need tile repair in Butterley

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 typically cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in Butterley

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
