- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit

Tile repair in Battersby without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Battersby
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How much does tile repair cost in Battersby?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Battersby. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Battersby
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
