Tile repair in Flookburgh, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Flookburgh

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would 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 few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price
