How we handle tile repair in Great Finborough
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Finborough
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Great Finborough, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Do you need tile repair in Great Finborough?
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Great Finborough. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.
