What affects the price in Ringley
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Questions from Ringley
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ringley included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover Ringley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ringley and the rest of Bolton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repair or replace in Ringley?

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
