About our tile repair in High Shincliffe
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, across marble, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
