How we handle tile repair in Backford
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace in Backford?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Backford. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Backford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
