Tile repair at your home in Risley
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Risley
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

What affects the price in Risley
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Risley: your questions answered
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
