Need tile repair in Prescot?

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Tile repair in Prescot, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It helps to know what we cannot do:

Repair or replace in Prescot?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Your questions about tile repair in Prescot

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Do you cover the entire of St Helens?

The entire UK, including all of St Helens. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across St Helens.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Prescot and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
