About our tile repair in Blackfriars
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can help, on floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Blackfriars
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What affects the price in Blackfriars
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Blackfriars. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Blackfriars
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you come to Blackfriars?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Blackfriars and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Blackfriars?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackfriars
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Blackfriars, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
