What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Eling questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How much does tile repair cost in Eling?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Southampton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
