Tile repair at your home in Blackfordby
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, across floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Blackfordby: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Blackfordby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Blackfordby and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
