How we handle tile repair in Derry Downs
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Derry Downs questions
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BR5 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
