How we handle tile repair in Fort Matilda
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Fort Matilda. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Fort Matilda. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
