Tile repair in Cotham without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bristol. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Cotham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Questions from Cotham
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Cotham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cotham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BS6 postcode.
Do you cover the whole of Bristol?
Across the UK, so Cotham is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we’re called out for in Cotham
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price covers travel
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
