FAQs for New Longton
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, if it isn’t loose.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you cover New Longton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to New Longton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to New Longton. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Longton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
