About our tile repair in Skelton

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Skelton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

Skelton: your questions answered

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, if it is not loose.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Skelton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DL11 postcode.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged 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. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
