How we handle tile repair in Lea

The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lea. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our pricing.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Advice

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Lea

Do you cover Lea?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lea for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lea use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
