Our hiring checklist

Tile repair at your home in Sands

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sands. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sands. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Sands

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One price list for the entire UK

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

For a price in Sands, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sands

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Sands: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?

Across the UK, and that includes Sands. Prices do not change with location.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WF14 postcode.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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