Tile repair at your home in Honicknowle
The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, in ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What affects the price in Honicknowle
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole tiled area
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Honicknowle get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Honicknowle questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How much does tile repair cost in Honicknowle?

Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Honicknowle for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
