  • Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
  • Whole walls of failing grout

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

  • Floor and wall tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Marble

How we handle tile repair in Darnhill

The tile stays where it is, 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. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Darnhill and across Rochdale. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rochdale and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Darnhill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Darnhill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place

Your questions about tile repair in Darnhill

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Darnhill included. Travel is included in the price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your OL10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
