About our tile repair in Gayton
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, marble and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gayton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. 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.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Common questions in Gayton
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How much does tile repair cost in Gayton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Gayton.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gayton. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Porcelain tiles
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
