Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle tile repair in Elemore Vale
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. If you’re dealing with cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can generally put it right.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job 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 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
