Tile repair in Fernwood without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, across floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Fernwood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Marble
Repair or replace in Fernwood?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Fernwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Fernwood
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Fernwood, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
