How we handle tile repair in Cowley
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Cowley: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Cowley
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
