Tile repair in Fothergill without replacing anything
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. If you are dealing with cracked floor tiles and drill holes from removed fittings, we can help, on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Fothergill
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Fothergill. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Fothergill
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- 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 match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about tile repair in Fothergill
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Fothergill?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you cover Fothergill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Fothergill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
