About our tile repair in Etherley Grange

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Etherley Grange, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

Signs you need tile repair in Etherley Grange

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
