Tile repair at your home in Hints
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. We are frequently asked to fix damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools, in marble, floor and wall tiles and ceramic tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hints and across Staffordshire. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Common questions in Hints
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Often, yes, if it is not loose.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Landlord and trade work in Hints
If you manage property in Hints, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Our tile repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Floor and wall tiles
