How we handle tile repair in Old Cantley

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We’re often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Old Cantley questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are there extra charges for Old Cantley?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Old Cantley. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DN3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Old Cantley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Cantley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
