How we handle tile repair in Dobcross
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are often asked to fix damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover the entire of Oldham?
All of Oldham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Landlord and trade work in Dobcross

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dobcross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
