Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Tile repair at your home in Gawthorpe
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gawthorpe
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Gawthorpe questions
How much does tile repair cost in Gawthorpe?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you work in Gawthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gawthorpe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HD5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
