Tile repair in Skerne Park without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need tile repair in Skerne Park?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Skerne Park, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Your questions about tile repair in Skerne Park

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

When can you do it?

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

How do I book?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
