How we handle tile repair in Guide
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlord and trade work in Guide
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What else we do in Guide
What we are called out for in Guide
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:
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace
- Damaged tile edges
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
