Tile repair in Bower without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bower and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Bower
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bower. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Do you need tile repair in Bower?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bower
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
