Our hiring checklist

Tile repair in Balls Green, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Balls Green

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CO7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

Questions from Balls Green

Are there extra charges for Balls Green?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
