Tile repair in Magherafelt, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Magherafelt

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Magherafelt?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

What affects the price in Magherafelt

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Magherafelt. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Magherafelt and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Magherafelt

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
