About our tile repair in Cowbar
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, we can help, on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cowbar. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
