About our tile repair in Wigginton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in York. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Take a look at our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Wigginton

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for Wigginton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Wigginton. Prices don’t change with location.

What does tile repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO32 postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What we’re called out for in Wigginton

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
