What affects the price in Douglas
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole tiled area
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Tile repair at your home in Douglas
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Questions from Douglas
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Douglas included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
