Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Apse Heath. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
