Tile repair at your home in Gulval
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools, on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Gulval
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gulval. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gulval, and we will reply with a fixed price.

- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 generally cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Gulval

Common questions in Gulval

Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

There may be a mild smell during the work.
What happens next?

Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools

Repair or replace in Gulval?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
