How we handle tile repair in Fishpool
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, marble and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fishpool use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Fishpool
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Normally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
