Tile repair in Bobbing without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and marble, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Questions from Bobbing
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire tiled area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace in Bobbing?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
