How we handle tile repair in Appleton
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Appleton
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Appleton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, if it isn’t loose.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Appleton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OX13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
