Tile repair in Higher Gamesley without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles, in natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Higher Gamesley
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Higher Gamesley. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Higher Gamesley, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout

Common questions in Higher Gamesley
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you fill holes left by old fittings?
Yes. We fill drill holes from removed fittings.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Repair or replace in Higher Gamesley?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are 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 fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
