Tile repair at your home in Barton upon Irwell
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Barton upon Irwell
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we can’t put right
We would 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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
