Tile repair in Rawtenstall, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair marble, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Rawtenstall
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
