Landlords, agents and businesses in Harrowcross
For anyone letting property in or around Harrowcross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
About our tile repair in Harrowcross
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Your questions about tile repair in Harrowcross
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you work in Harrowcross?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Harrowcross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Are there extra charges for Harrowcross?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Generally, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
