How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SY1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Tile repair in Copthorne without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We are frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite.
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 use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Copthorne
Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?
Across the UK, so Copthorne is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you come to Copthorne?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Copthorne and the rest of Shropshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Can landlords book you?

Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Common problems we fix in Copthorne
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.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
