About our tile repair in Gelston
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Gelston: your questions answered
What does tile repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. 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.

If you manage property in Gelston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gelston. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
