Tile repair in Common Side, done in place
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. We regularly repair marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
Landlord and trade work in Common Side
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we’re called out for in Common Side
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.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled 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
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Common Side
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
