Tile repair in Melling

Tile repair at your home in Melling

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melling as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Melling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
