Trusted tile repair in Tow Law

About our tile repair in Tow Law

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, across natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Tow Law

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Tow Law?

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Tow Law. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits 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.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Tow Law

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How your room will be protected

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
