Tile repair for Glass Houghton homes

Tile repair at your home in Glass Houghton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

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

Common questions in Glass Houghton

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

How do I book?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need tile repair in Glass Houghton

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Glass Houghton

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, 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 each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our prices page.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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