Landlords, agents and businesses in Hessay

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hessay as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Tile repair in Hessay, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Hessay?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hessay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

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

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hessay. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can price the job.

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
