About our tile repair in Croston
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our technicians work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 before booking.

- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.

Repairing versus replacing in Croston
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts 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.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole tiled area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
