Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Blackhall Rocks. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
