We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cathedral Quarter. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What tile repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Cathedral Quarter, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cathedral Quarter as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
