Tile repair in Hickmans Green, done in place
We repair the tile in place, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. Our repair technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and marble, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and damaged tile edges.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Hickmans Green and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job 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.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
