About our tile repair in Higham
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Higham. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Higham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Higham
How much does tile repair cost in Higham?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S75 postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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.
Materials we work on in Higham

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
