What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Heads Nook and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Tile repair at your home in Heads Nook
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. We work on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped pans and tools and drill holes from removed fittings.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
