Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire tiled area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are 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 care for it.

  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. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Tonge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tonge

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bolton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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