Tile repair in Askomill, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Askomill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Askomill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Askomill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
