Our hiring checklist

Tile repair in Caring without replacing anything

A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, across natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

We clean the tile and remove 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.

Preparing for the visit

Let the surface dry out before the visit
Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

The type of damage
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The colour and finish to match
Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

Your postcode, so we can check dates
Any earlier repairs or coatings
One picture of the whole tiled area
One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Caring, 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.
