Tile repair in Easington Lane without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We’re often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Easington Lane

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Easington Lane

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

How we price tile repair

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Easington Lane

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price
