Tile repair in Towthorpe

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Tile repair in Towthorpe, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Towthorpe

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you cover Towthorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Towthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens next?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Towthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Towthorpe

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in York and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Towthorpe

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
