What affects the price in Hawkwell
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hawkwell. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Tile repair in Hawkwell without replacing anything
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, across marble, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How do I get a price for tile repair in Hawkwell?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
