What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cattedown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Your questions about tile repair in Cattedown
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Plymouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
