Need tile repair in Normanton?

Tile repair in Normanton without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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 frequently lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Normanton

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Normanton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

What does tile repair cost?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Normanton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Normanton

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
