Tile repair in Wensley, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We are often asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What affects the price in Wensley
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Wensley
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Wensley and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Wensley?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
