Tile repair near Satley

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match 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. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Tile repair in Satley without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Satley use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Satley: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Do you cover Satley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Satley and the rest of County Durham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
