Tile repair in Skirbeck Quarter, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

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 clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Skirbeck Quarter

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Skirbeck Quarter. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

FAQs for Skirbeck Quarter

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Skirbeck Quarter and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled 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

  • Let us know which floor the room is on

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Skirbeck Quarter?

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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
