Tile repair in Skelton

Tile repair at your home in Skelton

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Skelton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Advice

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Skelton

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Skelton

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Skelton and the rest of Redcar and Cleveland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you quote from photos?

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

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

Are there extra charges for Skelton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Skelton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skelton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
