Tile repair in Crosby

Tile repair in Crosby without replacing anything

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

Questions from Crosby

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Do you need tile repair in Crosby?

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Crosby

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crosby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
