Tile repair in Darcy Lever without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bolton. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Darcy Lever
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
