Tile repair near Sandholme

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Tile repair in Sandholme without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, in marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one 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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Sandholme

  • Porcelain tiles

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Sandholme get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HU15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Sandholme questions

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it isn’t loose.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
