Tile repair in Houghton, done in place
If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. The tile stays where it is, so you do not need to find a spare. Whether it’s drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can typically put it right, on natural stone & granite, floor and wall tiles and marble alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and clean with a pH-neutral cleaner.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you quote from photos?

What happens if you find more damage?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

- The chip, crack or hole is filled.

How to get a price

How we price tile repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Houghton. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
