Tile repair in Carr Cross, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, in marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Carr Cross: your questions answered
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, 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.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carr Cross
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carr Cross use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
