Common questions in Carlby

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

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

How much does tile repair cost in Carlby?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Tile repair in Carlby without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, 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. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

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

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

When to call us in Carlby

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
