Tile repair in Elmstone, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, in ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Elmstone as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Elmstone
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Elmstone. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
