How we handle tile repair in Castletown
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Castletown
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
