Tile repair for Davyhulme homes

What affects the price in Davyhulme

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

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

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

About our tile repair in Davyhulme

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Davyhulme: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Davyhulme.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Normally, if it is not loose.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Honest limits

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
  • Whole walls of failing grout

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
