Common questions in Emmer Green
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Emmer Green?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
