How we handle tile repair in Dry Drayton
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can help, on natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Dry Drayton
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Dry Drayton?
Prices start 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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Dry Drayton?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
