Tile repair in Longton, 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 is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Longton
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Repair or replace in Longton?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Longton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
