Tile repair at your home in Daubhill
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Daubhill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Questions from Daubhill
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Daubhill. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
