About our tile repair in Moorside

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in Moorside

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Moorside, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Moorside

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for Moorside?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

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