Tile repair at your home in Histon
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles, and common reasons people contact us are drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Histon questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire tiled area and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Histon and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Histon
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
