Need tile repair in Shadsworth?

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Tile repair at your home in Shadsworth

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Shadsworth

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Shadsworth and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BB1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our pricing.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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