How we handle tile repair in Wilmington

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Your questions about tile repair in Wilmington

Are there extra charges for Wilmington?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilmington

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
