Tile repair in Old Town, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should you replace it?

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. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What affects the price in Old Town

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HX7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Old Town questions

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you cover Old Town?

We do. We send a technician to Old Town for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Calderdale and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
