Trusted tile repair in Ingerthorpe

Tile repair in Ingerthorpe, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, in natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Ingerthorpe questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Which areas do you work in?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
