How we handle tile repair in Old Moat

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Old Moat questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it is not loose.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you work in Old Moat?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Old Moat and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlord and trade work in Old Moat

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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.
