Tile repair for Ellington homes

Tile repair in Ellington without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Ellington

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Honest limits

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price tile repair

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Your questions about tile repair in Ellington

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ellington.

Do you work in Ellington?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ellington. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Ellington and the rest of Northumberland. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Landlord and trade work in Ellington

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
