Tile repair in Hunger Hill

About our tile repair in Hunger Hill

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for Hunger Hill

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.

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

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is it messy?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

When to call us in Hunger Hill

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Hunger Hill

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What affects the price in Hunger Hill

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
