What tile repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hopton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hopton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Hopton
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
