Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Goldenacre. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Goldenacre, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
