Tile repair in Fockerby, North Lincolnshire
Damaged tiled area in Fockerby? We put it right where it is, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Tile repair in Fockerby, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fockerby as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Fockerby?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Fockerby
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fockerby. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DN17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
