What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

About our tile repair in Seaburn Dene

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right, on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Seaburn Dene

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

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you need tile repair in Seaburn Dene?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

Questions from Seaburn Dene

How do I get a price for tile repair in Seaburn Dene?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you come to Seaburn Dene?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Seaburn Dene. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
