Tile repair in Grimeston without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access

Grimeston questions
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover Grimeston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Grimeston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Signs you need tile repair in Grimeston
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Cracked floor tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
