About our tile repair in Salford
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, on marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.
Can I fix it myself?
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, 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Salford questions
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do you cover Salford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Salford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When to call us in Salford
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price

Repairing versus replacing in Salford
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Take a look at our full price list.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
