Repairing versus replacing in Forbes
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Forbes, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about tile repair in Forbes
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
