Common questions in Greenfield
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Tile repair in Greenfield, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, in natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Greenfield. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Greenfield
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
For a price in Greenfield, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Greenfield
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
