Tile repair in Burston without replacing anything

We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole tiled area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Burston get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
