Trusted tile repair in Longley

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Tile repair at your home in Longley

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Longley: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Longley

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Longley

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
