Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
