About our tile repair in Springthorpe

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. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Springthorpe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Springthorpe

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Springthorpe

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Springthorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Springthorpe questions

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Springthorpe?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DN21 postcode.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What affects the price in Springthorpe

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Springthorpe. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
