Tile repair in Delph, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Delph
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Delph
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oldham.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Delph is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Delph
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Delph, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
