Tile repair for Galgate homes

Tile repair in Galgate without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Peace of mind is built in: 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.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When we would advise against a repair

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged 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. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Questions from Galgate

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Galgate included. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you need tile repair in Galgate?

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Galgate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

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 over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
