Tile repair in Middleton One Row

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

About our tile repair in Middleton One Row

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Middleton One Row, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Middleton One Row as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
