Tile repair in Bowston without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, across ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Bowston: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
