Tile repair in Great Shelford, done in place
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 porcelain tiles, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Shelford
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Great Shelford: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work in Great Shelford?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Great Shelford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Great Shelford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
