How we handle tile repair in Skeffington

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove 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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What affects the price in Skeffington

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Skeffington

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Skeffington?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work in Skeffington?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Skeffington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Skeffington included. Travel is included in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page.
