Tile repair in Bongate without replacing anything
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. We work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Bongate?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
