Tile repair for Ulceby homes

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ulceby. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ulceby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Tile repair in Ulceby without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ulceby and across North Lincolnshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ulceby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairing versus replacing in Ulceby

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
