Tile repair at your home in Dore

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dore and across Sheffield. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What affects the price in Dore

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dore

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sheffield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

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