How we price tile repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Downham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We shape the repair flush with the tile.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.
