About our tile repair in Gargrave

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gargrave. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Gargrave

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Gargrave questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Gargrave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
