Tile repair at your home in Smithy Bridge
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Smithy Bridge and across Rochdale. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

- 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.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Advice
FAQs for Smithy Bridge
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Smithy Bridge and the rest of Rochdale. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Smithy Bridge?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
