Tile repair at your home in Holywell
A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We repair the tile in place, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. We regularly repair floor and wall tiles, natural stone & granite and ceramic tiles, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and chips from dropped pans and tools.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Holywell. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. A repair keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
