Tile repair at your home in Higher Ince
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 will say so. Whether it’s chips from dropped pans and tools and damaged tile edges, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

- Cracked floor tiles

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Higher Ince
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Higher Ince. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
- Marble
- Porcelain tiles
- Natural stone & granite
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
