Tile repair near Wilmington

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Tile repair in Wilmington, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wilmington. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
