Tile repair at your home in Waterfoot
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Waterfoot
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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.
