Tile repair in Ayres End, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Ayres End
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ayres End. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole tiled area
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your AL5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, 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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No extra charge for your area

- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
