What tile repair costs

- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

Tile repair at your home in Houghall
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so there’s no need to hunt for a matching tile. Our technicians work on ceramic tiles, marble and natural stone & granite, and the jobs we see most are drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- The chip, crack or hole is filled.
- We level and shape the repair to the tile surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed to suit the tile’s finish.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, finding a match and risking the tiles around it. Repairing it keeps the original tile. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Houghall
Can a cracked tile be fixed in place?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
How much does tile repair cost in Houghall?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Houghall
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need tile repair in Houghall?
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Movement underneath can also crack tiles.

- Discontinued tiles you cannot replace

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
