Tile repair at your home in Swinton

We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Swinton as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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

Why Swinton customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What affects the price in Swinton

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we are called out for in Swinton

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Common questions in Swinton

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
