Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Harborne
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
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 photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Natural stone & granite
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.
