About our tile repair in Burston
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise 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.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Burston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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.
What we work on
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite

Burston: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Burston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Burston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. 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.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
