Tile repair for Colne homes

Tile repair in Colne without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Colne and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Colne, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Colne

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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