Tile Repair for Buttrills homes
We travel to Buttrills for chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Tile repair in Buttrills without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Buttrills
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Buttrills. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
