Tile repair for Crookhall homes

How we handle tile repair in Crookhall

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Crookhall

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Questions from Crookhall

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Crookhall?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Crookhall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Crookhall and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. 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. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Crookhall

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Crookhall

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
