Tile repair in Ansty, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ansty and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Ansty
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
