Tile Repair in Carbost
Our repair technicians come to Carbost for chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Tile repair in Carbost, done in place
A loose or rocking tile 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’re often asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, in marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Carbost
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Questions from Carbost
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, if it isn’t loose.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work in Carbost?
We do. We send a technician to Carbost for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
