Tile repair at your home in Coldharbour
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Your questions about tile repair in Coldharbour
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you come to Coldharbour?
We do. We send a technician to Coldharbour for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
