Newbold: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
About our tile repair in Newbold
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’ll say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Newbold
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Signs you need tile repair in Newbold
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Rochdale and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

There is 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.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
