Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Grinton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Tile repair in Grinton without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Grinton
Do you come to Grinton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Grinton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, if it is not loose.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
