Tile repair in Carlinghow, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can normally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our full price list.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

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

Getting ready for the visit

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Carlinghow

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carlinghow

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Carlinghow

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

What tile repair costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
