Trusted tile repair in East Didsbury

Tile repair in East Didsbury without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are often asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in East Didsbury

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Do you come to East Didsbury?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to East Didsbury. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Normally, if it is not loose.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Landlord and trade work in East Didsbury

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in East Didsbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Our hiring checklist

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

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

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
