Tile repair in Otley

Tile repair in Otley, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about tile repair in Otley

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Otley?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
