About our tile repair in Great Burdon

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
Next we fill the damage.
We shape the repair flush with the tile.
The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Great Burdon questions

How do I book?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Great Burdon included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
