How we handle tile repair in Carrington

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Carrington

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

What affects the price in Carrington

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

Common questions in Carrington

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Carrington?

We do. We send a technician to Carrington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Do you cover the entire of Trafford?

The entire UK, including all of Trafford. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can landlords book you?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Carrington

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carrington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carrington as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
