10 questions to ask before you book

Tile repair in Melmerby without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

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

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for Melmerby

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Melmerby included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Landlord and trade work in Melmerby

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

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated 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
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
