How we handle tile repair in Broadhempston
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Broadhempston and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting 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’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles

Broadhempston questions
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Broadhempston?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
