If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in North Skelton as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in North Skelton
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for North Skelton. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for North Skelton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
