How we handle tile repair in Ainsdale

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Ainsdale

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sefton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Ainsdale

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

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 pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Ainsdale

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ainsdale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
