Need tile repair in Swainsthorpe?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Tile repair at your home in Swainsthorpe

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can generally put it right, on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Swainsthorpe

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Questions from Swainsthorpe

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Are there extra charges for Swainsthorpe?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.
