Tile repair in Ford without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Ford
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings

When we would advise against a repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
FAQs for Ford
Do you work in Ford?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
How soon can you come?

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ford, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
