About our tile repair in Goldhanger
A loose or rocking tile 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. We work on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most frequently call us about drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Goldhanger
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Goldhanger
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Most clients in Goldhanger get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Goldhanger
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Goldhanger
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
