How we handle tile repair in Hobbs Cross
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include discontinued tiles you can’t replace and cracked floor tiles, on floor and wall tiles, porcelain tiles and ceramic tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Marble
- Ceramic tiles
- Floor and wall tiles

- Natural stone & granite
Landlord and trade work in Hobbs Cross
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, 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 else we do in Hobbs Cross
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we are called out for in Hobbs Cross
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Cracked floor tiles
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
