How we handle tile repair in Little Ouseburn

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Little Ouseburn

  • Floor and wall tiles

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Ouseburn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Little Ouseburn, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Little Ouseburn questions

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you work in Little Ouseburn?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Little Ouseburn. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
