Tile repair in Freshbrook without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Freshbrook. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Freshbrook. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SN5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Freshbrook questions
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Swindon. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
