Tile repair in Hobson, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped pans and tools and cracked floor tiles, on porcelain tiles, marble and floor and wall tiles.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hobson. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole tiled area, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repairing versus replacing in Hobson
Swapping out a damaged tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. Repairing it leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
