How we handle tile repair in Cote
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cote
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cote as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Cote: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Cote?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you work in Cote?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cote from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
