What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cardenden. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Cardenden, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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 normally the cheaper route.

Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

- Chips from dropped pans and tools
