Tile repair at your home in Friar Waddon
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged 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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No extra charge for your area
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Friar Waddon
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
When to call us in Friar Waddon

Clients typically contact us about:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
