Tile repair near Pelton

When we would advise against a repair

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Tile repair in Pelton without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, in marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Pelton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Pelton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Pelton: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover Pelton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pelton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Pelton and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
