About our tile repair in Leigh
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Leigh
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Leigh?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leigh use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
