Tile repair in Scriven

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re 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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Tile repair in Scriven, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

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

Questions from Scriven

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Scriven?

We do. Technicians travel to Scriven from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

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

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Scriven

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our full price list.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
