Tile repair in Cliftonville without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Cliftonville, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice
Your questions about tile repair in Cliftonville
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles

When to call us in Cliftonville
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
