Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilley Law
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our tile repair in Gilley Law
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Questions from Gilley Law
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I get a price for tile repair in Gilley Law?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SR3 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
