Tile repair for Longsight homes

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Tile repair in Longsight, done in place

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Longsight

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Longsight

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Longsight. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire tiled area

If you’re in Longsight and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

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

  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist
