About our tile repair in Great Gaddesden
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, on marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
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 use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Great Gaddesden
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Normally, if it isn’t loose.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Gaddesden
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash

- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HP1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
