Tile repair in Oakerthorpe without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re often asked to fix damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Oakerthorpe

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Your questions about tile repair in Oakerthorpe

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Oakerthorpe and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Oakerthorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Oakerthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Oakerthorpe

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:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
