Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Tile repair in Grasscroft without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most frequently call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
