Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
About our tile repair in Green Hammerton
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, in ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole tiled area, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
