Repairing versus replacing in Blackley

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 few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list.

Tile repair in Blackley without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Blackley

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair 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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
