Tile repair in Cliffe, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you’re dealing with chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Cliffe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common problems we fix in Cliffe
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
FAQs for Cliffe
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Cliffe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cliffe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Cliffe?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Getting ready for the visit

- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
