Tile repair at your home in Broughton Cross
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Broughton Cross and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
