What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barlaston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Tile repair at your home in Barlaston
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Barlaston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
