What affects the price in Hightown

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hightown, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Tile repair at your home in Hightown

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What a repair can’t fix

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Hightown

If you manage property in Hightown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Hightown

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you cover Hightown?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hightown and the rest of Sefton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
