How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Holystone, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about tile repair in Holystone
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Often, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
