Tile repair in Bowdon, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Bowdon 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 tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WA14 postcode.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Landlord and trade work in Bowdon
If you manage property in Bowdon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
