Tile repair in Dudswell without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dudswell
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dudswell as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HP4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire tiled area, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Questions from Dudswell
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
We work UK-wide, so Dudswell is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Dudswell?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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.
Do you cover Dudswell?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Dudswell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Repair or replace in Dudswell?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Dudswell
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Dudswell
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
