How we handle tile repair in Buckland Common
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d 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
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Buckland Common: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hertfordshire.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Buckland Common and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Buckland Common. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Buckland Common?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
