Tile repair in Plumbley

Tile repair in Plumbley, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Plumbley. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What a repair cannot fix

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Plumbley questions

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Plumbley and the rest of Sheffield. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Are there extra charges for Plumbley?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Plumbley.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plumbley

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
