Tile repair near Grassholme

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Tile repair at your home in Grassholme

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can generally put it right, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Grassholme and across County Durham. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Grassholme

Are there extra charges for Grassholme?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you come to Grassholme?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Grassholme. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What affects the price in Grassholme

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
