About our tile repair in Wigan
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Advice
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wigan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
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 you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
