Tile repair for Rivington homes

Tile repair in Rivington, done in place

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Rivington

  • Porcelain tiles

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Rivington clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Rivington

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

What affects the price in Rivington

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rivington. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Rivington

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

How much does tile repair cost in Rivington?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BL6 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
