How we handle tile repair in Hockering
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will say so. We are frequently asked to fix cracked floor tiles and damaged tile edges, on marble, floor and wall tiles and natural stone & granite.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 before booking.

What tile repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Hockering get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need tile repair in Hockering?
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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damaged tile edges
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
What your quote should include
