How we handle tile repair in Dean Bank
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dean Bank. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
