Book tile repair in Howsham

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Tile repair in Howsham without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Howsham as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Howsham

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Howsham

If you manage property in Howsham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
