What information do you need?

Common problems we fix in Boxworth
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CB23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Other services in Boxworth
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Boxworth
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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What we do, step by step
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 we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlord and trade work in Boxworth
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
