Trusted tile repair in Birkenhead

Tile repair in Birkenhead, done in place

The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Birkenhead questions

What happens after I send photos?

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

How much does tile repair cost in Birkenhead?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, if it isn’t loose.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Birkenhead included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

For a price in Birkenhead, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
