Tile repair at your home in Skelton

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Skelton

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Skelton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

If you’re in Skelton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
