About our tile repair in Friendly

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Friendly

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Common questions in Friendly

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you accredited?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the entire of Calderdale?

We work UK-wide, so Friendly is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How to compare quotes

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Friendly. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Friendly, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 normally cheaper.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
