About our tile repair in Grimethorpe
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We work on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and people most frequently call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Grimethorpe and across Barnsley. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not 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 will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
