About our tile repair in Gawthorpe

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’ll say so. We are frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Gawthorpe?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Gawthorpe

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gawthorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your WF5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Gawthorpe

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Gawthorpe?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
