Helmsley questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

About our tile repair in Helmsley

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Helmsley

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Take a look at our pricing.

What we’re called out for in Helmsley

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Helmsley

For anyone letting property in or around Helmsley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 booking.

What we work on

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Natural stone & granite

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
