About our tile repair in Highlane

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can generally put it right.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in Highlane and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Highlane questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cheshire East.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Are there extra charges for Highlane?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Highlane as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  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. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Most customers in Highlane get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
