About our tile repair in Preston

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Preston

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Preston questions

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Preston

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we are called out for in Preston

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Common reasons people in Preston contact us include:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
