How we handle tile repair in Balderstone

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Balderstone

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Your questions about tile repair in Balderstone

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it is not loose.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What do you need from me?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What a repair cannot fix

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
