Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from Dringhouses
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Dringhouses is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Common problems we fix in Dringhouses
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.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Dringhouses, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
