Tile repair in Yelling, 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 will say so. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Yelling and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Yelling

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Yelling. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Yelling get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Yelling

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Look out for these signs:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Your questions about tile repair in Yelling

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yelling

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
