How tile repair works in Southampton
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Landlord and trade work in Southampton
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Southampton questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Typically, if it isn’t loose.
