Advice
Tile repair in Torksey Lock, done in place
The tile stays where it is, 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. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Torksey Lock?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Torksey Lock: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
