Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eaton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Tile repair in Eaton without replacing anything

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

In a village like Eaton, older homes may have tiled or wooden floors that have been down for years, so a replacement rarely matches. Repairing the damage keeps the original.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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

Your questions about tile repair in Eaton

Will you travel to Eaton?

Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

I let a flat near Delamere station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Typically, if it isn’t loose.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Eaton. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Eaton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CW6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. In an older home in a village like Eaton, replacing a tiled area can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Our tile repair starts from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. In a village or hamlet like Eaton, access can be the only tricky part. Once we are there, the tile repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
