Tile repair for Heswall homes

Tile repair in Heswall, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Our hiring checklist

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Heswall. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

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

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Marble
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Ceramic tiles

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Questions from Heswall

Do you cover Heswall?

We do. We send a technician to Heswall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
