Tile repair in Hempstead, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. Typical jobs include drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools, across floor and wall tiles, marble and ceramic tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Hempstead and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Repairing versus replacing in Hempstead
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hempstead
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we’re called out for in Hempstead

- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
- Drill holes from removed fittings
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, 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.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
