Trusted tile repair in Horden

Tile repair in Horden, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horden

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Horden. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Horden and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Horden: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

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