Tile repair in Babbinswood without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our technicians work on marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What else we do in Babbinswood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
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 quote, not an estimate.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What affects the price in Babbinswood
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Babbinswood and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

- Cracked floor tiles

Repairing versus replacing in Babbinswood
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Babbinswood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
