Tile repair at your home in Gawthrop
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Gawthrop
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What else we do in Gawthrop
Gawthrop questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Gawthrop?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gawthrop. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gawthrop
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Gawthrop, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
