How we handle tile repair in Winskill

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Winskill: your questions answered

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Winskill included. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winskill

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winskill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Winskill

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
