How we handle tile repair in Shiptonthorpe

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Shiptonthorpe

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Shiptonthorpe

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Common problems we fix in Shiptonthorpe

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
