Tile repair near Clough Dene

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Tile repair in Clough Dene without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common questions in Clough Dene

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Clough Dene.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH9 postcode.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you work in Clough Dene?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Clough Dene. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?
