Trusted tile repair in Mid Yell

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we handle tile repair in Mid Yell

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mid Yell

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

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.

Common questions in Mid Yell

Are there extra charges for Mid Yell?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
