Skellow: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Skellow. Prices don’t change with location.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Skellow?

We do. We send a technician to Skellow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

About our tile repair in Skellow

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Skellow

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Skellow. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Skellow, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Skellow

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
