Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  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
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Your questions about tile repair in Pickering Nook

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

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

Do you cover Pickering Nook?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Pickering Nook. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Pickering Nook is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What we’re called out for in Pickering Nook

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Pickering Nook. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pickering Nook use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Pickering Nook customers choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout
