What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Alnwickhill. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alnwickhill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alnwickhill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
