Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Do you do work for letting agents?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Tile repair at your home in Higher Downs
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Common call-outs are for damaged tile edges and drill holes from removed fittings, in floor and wall tiles, ceramic tiles and marble.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Higher Downs
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Higher Downs. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Downs as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
