DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Tile repair in Cowick without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on marble, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Cowick questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Landlord and trade work in Cowick
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Cowick
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
Repairing versus replacing in Cowick
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
