About our tile repair in Flimby

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
Next we fill the damage.
The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
We match the colour and pattern by hand.
Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

Open a window if you can
Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Flimby

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Flimby

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
