Trusted tile repair in Crook

Tile repair at your home in Crook

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Crook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Crook?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our pricing.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Crook

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Your questions about tile repair in Crook

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are there extra charges for Crook?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
