Tile repair at your home in Hamister
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’ll say so. We’re frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges, on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What does tile repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hamister
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need tile repair in Hamister?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Common reasons people in Hamister contact us include:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What else we do in Hamister
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
