Choosing a repair company

Tile repair at your home in Little Lever

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

When we visit, 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’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Little Lever

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Little Lever, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about tile repair in Little Lever

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

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

Do you cover Little Lever?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Little Lever from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Lever. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
