How we handle tile repair in Gallows Green
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We’re often asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, across porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

When to call us in Gallows Green
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:
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price

What affects the price in Gallows Green
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gallows Green. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?
