How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Tile repair in Headington Hill, done in place
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Typical jobs include damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, across natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, 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.

Questions from Headington Hill
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Headington Hill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Headington Hill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
