Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How we handle tile repair in Ford
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If you are dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Ford
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
For a price in Ford, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ford
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 generally cheaper.

Ford: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
