About our tile repair in Harlton
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings, we can usually put it right, on natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Harlton. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CB23 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Harlton questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
How much does tile repair cost in Harlton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?

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

Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
