Tile repair at your home in Pilley

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, we can help, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Pilley

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover the whole of Barnsley?

We cover the entire UK, including Pilley and the rest of Barnsley. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repairing versus replacing in Pilley

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need tile repair in Pilley?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
