Tile repair in Etterby without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Etterby and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Etterby
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What we’re called out for in Etterby

- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Cracked floor tiles
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected

Landlord and trade work in Etterby
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
