How we handle tile repair in Irton
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
For a rural address like Irton, tell us about access and parking, and we will organise the visit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Irton?

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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 normally cheaper.
Honest limits
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 will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there. For a rural address like Irton, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the tile repair, so there’s no second trip.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
