About our tile repair in Higher Blackley

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can normally put it right, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Higher Blackley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Higher Blackley

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Common questions in Higher Blackley

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
