Tile repair in Wombwell, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Wombwell questions

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Wombwell. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Our hiring checklist

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Wombwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wombwell

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

If you manage property in Wombwell, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
