How we handle tile repair in Bower Heath
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Bower Heath questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Bower Heath
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
