About our tile repair in Roughlee

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. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Roughlee

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.

Customers generally contact us about:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roughlee use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

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

Roughlee questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are you accredited?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, if it isn’t loose.

What affects the price in Roughlee

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Roughlee. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
