Tile repair near Mowden

Tile repair at your home in Mowden

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, on marble, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

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

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should you replace it?

Work for landlords and builders

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mowden. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Signs you need tile repair in Mowden

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Mowden

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are there extra charges for Mowden?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

How much does tile repair cost in Mowden?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
