Tile repair near Morley Smithy

Tile repair in Morley Smithy, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, in marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Morley Smithy

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Morley Smithy

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Morley Smithy

What areas do you cover?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE7 postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
