Tile Repair for Fordstreet homes
Chip, crack and drill-hole repairs to floor and wall tiles in Fordstreet, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Tile repair at your home in Fordstreet
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, across ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Fordstreet: your questions answered
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Usually, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Fordstreet, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
