Tile repair in Soulby without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 usually the cheaper route.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Your questions about tile repair in Soulby

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you need tile repair in Soulby?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
