Questions from Waterhall

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?

Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.

Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How we handle tile repair in Waterhall

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 tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, in floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our full price list.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles

What we are called out for in Waterhall

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools
  • Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
  • Cracked floor tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterhall

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waterhall as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Waterhall

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Waterhall, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
