About our tile repair in Heiton
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our repair technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Heiton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Heiton, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Heiton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heiton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
