Smallbridge: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Smallbridge?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Smallbridge and the rest of Rochdale. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Rochdale. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Smallbridge
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
