DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Tile repair at your home in Cherry Tree
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

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.

Questions from Cherry Tree
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cherry Tree.
Do you work in Cherry Tree?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cherry Tree and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole tiled area
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

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