How we handle tile repair in Ousethorpe

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’ll tell you. Our repair technicians work on marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Ousethorpe, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Ousethorpe

For anyone letting property in or around Ousethorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 you book.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate 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
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
