Tile repair in Rakewood, done in place

We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Rakewood

Do you cover Rakewood?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Rakewood and the rest of Rochdale. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Natural stone & granite
  • Marble
  • Ceramic tiles
  • Porcelain tiles
  • Floor and wall tiles

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rakewood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Rakewood get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Rakewood

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Everything repaired in place

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
