About our tile repair in Grimbister
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are often asked to fix discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings, in marble, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles.
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.

How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Grimbister: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Grimbister. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
