Tile repair in Crossgates

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Tile repair in Crossgates, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, across floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Crossgates as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Crossgates. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price
