How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
  2. The chip, crack or hole is filled.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price tile repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Chesterton

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work in Chesterton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Chesterton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What about drill holes in tiles?

Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?

Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Do you need tile repair in Chesterton?

Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

Look out for these signs:

  • Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
  • Cracked floor tiles
  • Damaged tile edges
  • Chips from dropped pans and tools

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Chesterton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Chesterton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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.
