Tile repair at your home in Hay Street
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and marble, and the jobs we see most are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace in Hay Street?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
FAQs for Hay Street
Do you cover Hay Street?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hay Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What affects the price in Hay Street
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
