Tile repair at your home in Clifton
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
Take a look at our pricing.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What affects the price in Clifton
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Clifton
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
What a repair can’t fix
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

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Questions from Clifton
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
