Tile repair in Top of Lane without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We are frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, on natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Top of Lane questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Top of Lane?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Top of Lane and the rest of Oldham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
