How we handle tile repair in Strangeways
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 natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Strangeways, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Strangeways?

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
