Tile repair in Simm's Lane End, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Simm's Lane End. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Simm's Lane End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Simm's Lane End use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Simm's Lane End
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job

- How long it needs to cure
Questions from Simm's Lane End
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, if it is not loose.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Repairing versus replacing in Simm's Lane End
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. 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 will get a fixed figure.
