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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 normally the cheaper route.
About our tile repair in High Pittington
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about discontinued tiles you can’t replace and drill holes from removed fittings.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in High Pittington
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in High Pittington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to High Pittington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Repairing versus replacing in High Pittington
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
