Tile repair in Daddry Shield without replacing anything
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 will say so. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Daddry Shield questions
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you come to Daddry Shield?
We do. Technicians travel to Daddry Shield from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Repair or replace in Daddry Shield?

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
