DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Tile repair in Horsebridge, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll say so. We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. Our technicians work on natural stone & granite, ceramic tiles and floor and wall tiles, and common reasons people contact us are damaged tile edges and cracked floor tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How we price tile repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole tiled area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Horsebridge: your questions answered
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, as long as it’s still firmly stuck down.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the tile and remove loose fragments.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal it to match the tile.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
