Tile repair for Hackthorpe homes

What affects the price in Hackthorpe

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Tile repair at your home in Hackthorpe

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Hackthorpe

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Hackthorpe

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Hackthorpe?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Hackthorpe clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
