Tile repair at your home in Astley

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Astley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Astley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Your questions about tile repair in Astley

Are there extra charges for Astley?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you work in Astley?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Astley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Astley and the rest of Wigan. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 normally cheaper.
