Tile repair for Gateforth homes

Tile repair in Gateforth, done in place

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 say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What affects the price in Gateforth

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
