Tile repair for North Howden homes

Tile repair in North Howden, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in North Howden get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing 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. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits

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.

When to call us in North Howden

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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Howden use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
