Tile repair in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended
