Tile repair in Fence Houses, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
What affects the price in Fence Houses
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 before booking.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
