- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

Advice
Tile repair at your home in Carley Hill
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Carley Hill questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
