Tile repair in Cold Ash without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right, on floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
