Tile repair at your home in Clerkenwell
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job.
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

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Clerkenwell: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, if it is not loose.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Clerkenwell?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Clerkenwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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, and the work is guaranteed.
