Tile repair near Sowerby

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sowerby. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Tile repair at your home in Sowerby

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our pricing.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about tile repair in Sowerby

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you cover Sowerby?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sowerby and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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