Tile repair at your home in Clayton
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

The process
You don’t need to empty 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 usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Clayton. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BD14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
