Questions from Adlington

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

Everywhere in the UK, Adlington included. There is no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Tile repair in Adlington, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace in Adlington?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Adlington, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Adlington. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Adlington and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Adlington

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Adlington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
