Tile repair in Haroldswick, done in place
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you are dealing with damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Haroldswick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What else we do in Haroldswick

Every address in ZE2 is within our area. We regularly work on streets such as Taftens, Nordabrake and Brakefield Crescent and the roads around them. Haroldswick is on the B9087, which makes it straightforward to reach.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haroldswick as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens next?

Does someone need to be in?
