About our tile repair in Gubbion's Green
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, we can typically put it right, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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 you book.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for Gubbion's Green
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When to call us in Gubbion's Green
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
