How we handle tile repair in Harby
The tile stays where it is, 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. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

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 does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 we’re called out for in Harby
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’re asked about most:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
Landlords, agents and businesses in Harby
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harby as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Harby
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

FAQs for Harby
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How much does tile repair cost in Harby?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE14 postcode.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Generally, if it isn’t loose.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 you book.
