Tile repair in Scropton

What affects the price in Scropton

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

How we handle tile repair in Scropton

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, in natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Scropton

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Scropton

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, 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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
