How we handle tile repair in Castleshaw
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Castleshaw and across Oldham. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Castleshaw. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common questions in Castleshaw
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Castleshaw?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Castleshaw, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Do you need tile repair in Castleshaw?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
