About our tile repair in Duporth
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on marble, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Duporth, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Duporth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Duporth, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Your questions about tile repair in Duporth
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
