Tile repair in Efford without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole tiled area
For a price in Efford, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair 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
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Efford questions
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
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.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
