Tile repair in Houghton without replacing anything
We repair the tile in place, so you do not need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we will say so. If you’re dealing with drill holes from removed fittings and discontinued tiles you can’t replace, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

FAQs for Houghton
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hampshire.
Can you repair a cracked floor tile without replacing it?
Frequently, yes, if it isn’t loose.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does tile repair cost?

Are there extra charges for Houghton?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Common problems we fix in Houghton
Floor tiles chip when pans, tins and tools are dropped, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked floor tiles
- Drill holes from removed fittings
- Damaged tile edges
- Chips from dropped pans and tools
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
Should you replace it?
Swapping out a damaged tile involves breaking out the old tile, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair leaves the tile where it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
