Tile repair in Highstead without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We work on marble, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and people most often call us about damaged tile edges and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire tiled area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in Highstead and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Highstead
