Trusted tile repair in Ashbourne

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Tile repair at your home in Ashbourne

The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Ashbourne: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to Ashbourne?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ashbourne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ashbourne. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ashbourne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashbourne use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
