How we handle tile repair in Foston
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped pans and tools and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Foston and across Derbyshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

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 will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
