Advice
Questions from Ashton upon Mersey
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, if it is not loose.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Ashton upon Mersey
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Ashton upon Mersey
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
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
