How we handle tile repair in Horton
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We’re frequently asked to fix drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles, on ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and porcelain tiles.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. 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 the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- We fill the chip, crack or hole.
- The repair is levelled to the tile surface.
- The colour and pattern are recreated by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Horton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire tiled area
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Horton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Horton questions
How do I get a price for tile repair in Horton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Horton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Horton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire tiled area and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Our tile repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
