Tile repair in Flanshaw, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

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.

Take a look at our pricing.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Flanshaw: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Flanshaw?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Flanshaw?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your WF2 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flanshaw use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
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.
