How we handle tile repair in Dalton-on-Tees

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dalton-on-Tees. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled 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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Dalton-on-Tees, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Dalton-on-Tees

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you come to Dalton-on-Tees?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Dalton-on-Tees from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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