About our tile repair in Wilby

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Wilby?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Do you need tile repair in Wilby?

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Wilby

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Do you work in Wilby?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Wilby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilby

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
