Tile repair for Buxton homes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles

Tile repair in Buxton, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Buxton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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

Buxton: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Buxton?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
