Tile repair at your home in Whiteabbey

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Whiteabbey, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need tile repair in Whiteabbey

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whiteabbey. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Newtownabbey and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Whiteabbey
