About our tile repair in Holland-on-Sea
The tile stays where it is, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We work on ceramic tiles, natural stone & granite and porcelain tiles, and the jobs we see most are damaged tile edges and chips from dropped pans and tools.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Holland-on-Sea
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the tile and clearing loose fragments.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

When to call us in Holland-on-Sea
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, while walls end up with drill holes from old fittings. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Discontinued tiles you can’t replace
- Damaged tile edges
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
