Advice
Tile repair in Gibraltar, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Gibraltar questions
Are there extra charges for Gibraltar?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover Gibraltar?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gibraltar for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
