Tile repair near Old Swan

Tile repair in Old Swan, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.

We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we are called out for in Old Swan

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Old Swan, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Old Swan?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our full price list.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Old Swan

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Liverpool and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
