Tile repair in Drybrook, done in place

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Drybrook: your questions answered
How much does tile repair cost in Drybrook?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Are there extra charges for Drybrook?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Drybrook.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Signs you need tile repair in Drybrook
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Drybrook
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drybrook use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
