About our tile repair in Butcher's Cross
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 tell you. If you are dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and marble alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Common questions in Butcher's Cross
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
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 you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
