How we handle tile repair in Ashridge
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about tile repair in Ashridge
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
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. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Repairing versus replacing in Ashridge

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ashridge, and we will reply with a fixed price.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
