Book tile repair in Salterforth

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

About our tile repair in Salterforth

We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Salterforth

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Salterforth, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Salterforth

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 normally cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Questions from Salterforth

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Salterforth?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Salterforth?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BB18 postcode.
