About our tile repair in Blackburn

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Blackburn

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Blackburn: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackburn

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Blackburn

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Blackburn, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
