Your questions about tile repair in Atherton

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Atherton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What about drill holes in tiles?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you work in Atherton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Atherton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How much does tile repair cost in Atherton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Tile repair at your home in Atherton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
