About our tile repair in Lullington

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Lullington

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lullington

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common questions in Lullington

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
