Tile repair in Clifton, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Halton. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Advice
Clifton questions
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Clifton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Clifton and the rest of Halton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Honest limits
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
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Clifton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
