Common questions in Howgill

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Howgill?

We do. We send a technician to Howgill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Tile repair in Howgill 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’ll say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Howgill and across Lancashire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you need tile repair in Howgill?

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.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Howgill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Howgill

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BB7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
