Our hiring checklist

How we handle tile repair in Great Thirkleby

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon 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 start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Thirkleby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Great Thirkleby. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most customers in Great Thirkleby get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
