About our tile repair in Formby
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Formby. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sefton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- One price list for the entire UK
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Ceramic tiles
- Marble
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
Formby: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How much does tile repair cost in Formby?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your L37 postcode.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Formby
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
