About tile repair in Lisburn
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We are often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles.
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- 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.
What it costs in Lisburn
Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Normally one visit, start to finish

Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is.
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Signs you need tile repair
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
