About our tile repair in Urmston

We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are often asked to fix damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, across floor and wall tiles, marble and porcelain tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Urmston questions

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Urmston?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Often, yes, if it is not loose.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What tile repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. We fill the chip, crack or hole.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

For a price in Urmston, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.
