How we handle tile repair in Dowbiggin
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What else we do in Dowbiggin
What we’re called out for in Dowbiggin
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
