How we handle tile repair in North Close
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
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 use a pH-neutral cleaner.

North Close: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
How do I get a price for tile repair in North Close?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL16 postcode.
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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around North Close, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Close use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
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’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in North Close and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
Common problems we fix in North Close
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
