Tile repair in Hillyfields without replacing anything
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and damaged tile edges, on marble, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Hillyfields
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the whole of Southampton?
All of Southampton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Typically, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hillyfields, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For anyone letting property in or around Hillyfields, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
