Legburthwaite questions

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

About our tile repair in Legburthwaite

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Floor and wall tiles

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

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.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Legburthwaite, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Legburthwaite, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Legburthwaite clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
