Tile repair in Drinkstone, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Drinkstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Drinkstone, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
