Tile repair in Ovington

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Tile repair in Ovington, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

Common questions in Ovington

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much does tile repair cost in Ovington?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NE42 postcode.

When can you do it?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Northumberland.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

When to call us in Ovington

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Ovington

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
