- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Tile repair at your home in Balls Cross
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Balls Cross
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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 you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Balls Cross get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
