How we handle tile repair in Blackhill
If a tile moves, it 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. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Blackhill questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are there extra charges for Blackhill?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Blackhill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
