Advice
How we handle tile repair in Fishburn
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Fishburn, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
