Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Audlin

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Tile repair in Thorpe Audlin without replacing anything

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles alike.

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

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thorpe Audlin. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Thorpe Audlin

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Your questions about tile repair in Thorpe Audlin

What does tile repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your WF8 postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you cover the whole of Wakefield?

We cover the whole UK, including Thorpe Audlin and the rest of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
