Damaged tiled area in Hammer? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Drill holes from removed fittings

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Tile repair in Hammer without replacing anything
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 will say so. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Hammer
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

- Whether we combine several jobs

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hammer use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
