Tile repair in Faverdale

Tile repair in Faverdale, done in place

If a tile moves, it 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. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can help, on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Faverdale

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Darlington?

The whole UK, including all of Darlington. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Faverdale?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Faverdale from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Faverdale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlord and trade work in Faverdale

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
