Tile repair at your home in Cottingham

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, in marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

  • A fixed quote before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cottingham

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Most customers in Cottingham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Cottingham questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Cottingham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cottingham and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
