What affects the price in Blackburn

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

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 whether it can be repaired.

Tile repair at your home in Blackburn

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can normally put it right, on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Blackburn

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Common problems we fix in Blackburn

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
