Trusted tile repair in Whitley Head

Tile repair in Whitley Head without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Whitley Head

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bradford and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
