Tile repair at your home in Benington
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Benington
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Benington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Any details about the material
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Benington, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Benington
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
