Tile repair at your home in Swinton

If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Swinton

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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Swinton

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Drill holes from removed fittings
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Swinton questions

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Swinton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Swinton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Usually, if it is not loose.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
