How we handle tile repair in Hints
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair natural stone & granite, marble and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are discontinued tiles you can’t replace and chips from dropped pans and tools.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Hints questions
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it is not loose.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Signs you need tile repair in Hints
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.

- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, 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 you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
