About our tile repair in Harwell
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and people most often call us about chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Harwell
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harwell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
Most clients in Harwell get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
