Tile repair for North Roe homes

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 will say what we think.

Materials we work on in North Roe

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

Tile repair in North Roe without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Our technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: 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 price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about tile repair in North Roe

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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in North Roe.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
