Tile repair at your home in Ellington
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles alike.
For a rural address like Ellington, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll plan the visit around it.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ellington and across Cambridgeshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Ellington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Ellington
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Parish Church of All Saints, old tiles are hard to match, so repairing a damaged one keeps the original floor.
