About our tile repair in Chilton
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chilton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chilton. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chilton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Chilton questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
