Tile repair in Cowers Lane, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, across marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common questions in Cowers Lane
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Cowers Lane?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
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.
