How we handle tile repair in Caldwell
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. If you’re dealing with damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Landlord and trade work in Caldwell
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, 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 will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles

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. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Caldwell: your questions answered
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Caldwell?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DE12 postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
