Tile repair in Lockton, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Lockton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

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.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Lockton: your questions answered

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
