Tile repair in Leigh

Tile repair in Leigh without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in Leigh

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, 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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Leigh customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

The process

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 usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WN7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Leigh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Leigh

  • Natural stone & granite

Leigh: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work in Leigh?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Leigh. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

How much does tile repair cost in Leigh?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Leigh?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Generally, if it is not loose.
