  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Common questions in Kirkby la Thorpe

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Kirkby la Thorpe?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Kirkby la Thorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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 there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
