About our tile repair in Chilton Lane
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chilton Lane. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
