Duckhole questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of South Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, if it is not loose.
Tile repair in Duckhole without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

More about tile repair
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

What we are called out for in Duckhole
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repairing versus replacing in Duckhole
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

What affects the price in Duckhole
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
