About our tile repair in Blackwater
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Blackwater
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you cover Blackwater?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Blackwater. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Blackwater. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackwater
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
What your quote should include

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
