About our tile repair in Blackfen
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t 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
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
What affects the price in Blackfen
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Blackfen
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
