Your questions about tile repair in Walkden
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, if it is not loose.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you cover the whole of Salford?
All of Salford, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Walkden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Salford and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What else we do in Walkden
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
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, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Most customers in Walkden get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
