About our tile repair in Skipsea

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Skipsea: your questions answered

Do you come to Skipsea?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Skipsea from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
