If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on porcelain tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ford End as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Ford End questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are there extra charges for Ford End?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Ford End. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
