About our tile repair in Shawclough
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges 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. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Shawclough questions
Do you cover the entire of Rochdale?
The entire UK, including all of Rochdale. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
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’ll quote them together.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Shawclough and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
