Tile repair in Carrington without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carrington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles

Carrington: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, if it isn’t loose.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
