Choosing a repair company

Tile repair in Swainby, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Swainby

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Colour-matched on site

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Swainby questions

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you work in Swainby?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Swainby and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swainby

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swainby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
