About our tile repair in Escomb
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, across marble, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Escomb
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.
Common reasons people in Escomb contact us are:

Escomb questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work in Escomb?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Escomb. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Escomb.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
