Tile repair in Roby

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Tile repair at your home in Roby

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are often asked to fix cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Roby

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the entire UK

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

When to call us in Roby

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
